The American football club New York City announced that it is making adjustments to the work atmosphere after an internal investigation revealed that a group of players, including David Villa, had acted inappropriately towards a female employee.
New York launched its investigation after allegations by a former club trainee that she had been sexually harassed by the former Spanish striker and other members of the team.
The trainee, known only as “Skyler B”, posted last July tweets on “Twitter” in which she talked about “feeling my body every day”.
She added, “I rarely went one day without being caught or verbally harassing me,” noting that the club’s supervisors believe that what you say is “great comedic material.”
On Friday, New York issued a statement confirming that there was only one player left in the team, whom the girl mentioned, and that he was punished without going into details and did not mention Via.
The statement said: “The allegations made during the investigation are that a number of players and employees did not act in accordance with the club’s standards in their interactions with the trainee and with the rest of the club’s staff.”
The statement indicated that this included unnecessary physical contact, harassment, comments about clothes and appearance, stressing that the club “found this behavior inappropriate and unacceptable.”
The former Spain star denied any connection to the issue when the story first appeared in July and again through a spokesman on Friday after the statement was issued.
A spokesman for the retired Spanish star said, “David took this matter very seriously and cooperated fully with the investigation, but as he said from the start, these accusations are completely null.”
The 38-year-old left New York in 2018 to play one season in Japan and retired in 2019, after having spent a successful career in Valencia and Barcelona, and was a member of his country’s 2010 World Cup winning team.
